In a move that will no doubt annoy the hell out of those of us who receive a certain degree of comfort out of knowing that there’s always a sure-fire place to find a rerun of “The Brady Bunch” when you want one, TV Land is changing its network concept, in an attempt to better cater to the Baby Boomers in their audience.

Step #1: Begin purging of “classic TV” format by airing re-runs of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”
Step #2: Continue purging process by airing original, non-classic-TV-related programming, like, say, a show called “High School Reunion.”
Step #3: As long as you’re already getting rid of the classic-TV aspect, why stop there? Give up the all-TV aspect of the format, too, and start running movies that can be seen on virtually any other basic cable network and are never as funny once they’ve been purged of their profanities. Example: “Caddyshack.”

Boring.

At least the TV Land concept was an original one. Why throw that away in favor of turning the network into basically the exact same thing as everyone else…?
